Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Some may know I bought it used (certified Porsche) and I've been reading this forum religiously and asking questions....Could the dealer look up my VIN and tell me how my car was ordered?
Look at the option sticker that is placed on the inside of the front bonnet or hood. It will tell you all the option codes along with the VIN number, paint code, and build date. You could probably post the option codes here and somebody should be able to decipher them for you.
In my 99 C2 with the HiFi...
I had a 3 way seperate component system installed in the front (JL Audio XR-653cs). This consisted of a 6.5" in the doors with a 4" and tweeter in the dash. The 6.5" will need to be mounted on a custom baffle, but does not require any cutting. Focal also makes an excellent 3 way system. Do not bother replacing the rear speakers, they can not be heard... in fact disconnect them all together. For best sound quality, you should replace the headunit and get a proper amp that can put out some real power. If you really want to get into it, you can do a sub behind the rear seats. I had two 8" subs in a custom enclosure.
Unless Porsche changed its policy, you can call Porsche and they will tell you how the car was built and what dealer delivered the car. I have not done it in about a year but used to call them all the time.
